Now is the time to honor two outstanding nurse practitioner (NP) leaders. These awards are for achievements that have impacted the NP profession on a national or international scale and for NPs who have incorporated the AANP mission into the success of their initiative(s).

• The Towers Pinnacle Award is presented annually to an individual who, through policy, practice or education, has made outstanding contributions that resulted in increased national recognition for NPs and increased opportunities for NPs to provide care to patients.
• The Sharp Cutting Edge Award is presented annually to an individual who has shown leadership through innovative services, technologies or advocacy activities that advanced NP practice and patient care on a national level.

Award nominations must be submitted electronically on the AANP National Leadership Awards Nomination Form. The deadline to submit your nomination is March 8, 2021.
